Dear GRASS users,
By (Spearfish Location):
v.to.db –p roads option=length
I have this result:
cat>length
5|136313.999118462
4|151211.909391895
3|29073.0640515405
1|47106.9051508698
2|28460.9513530158
I’m not able to realize the sorting criteria. Any hint?
Thanks

v.db.select roads
cat|label
0|no data
1|interstate
2|primary highway, hard surface
3|secondary highway, hard surface
4|light-duty road, improved surface
5|unimproved road
The spearfish dataset dates from pre-grass6 times when vectors did not have attribute tables, but only a category value with relevant labels. So all roads of a certain type had the same cat value which had a thematic meaning.
Your result thus gives you the total length of road per category.

Moritz,
Thanks for the answer, but my question was probably much more simple.
It was about the order of category values in the output list of v.to.db that seems random.
Anyway, by analysing the following example from North Carolina dataset:
v.to.db -p map=geology@PERMANENT option=area units=kilometers
cat|area
11|141.526058758045
13|0.163779303256579
14|45.7839483425881
18|27.8567323538938
19|0.148723573715116
22|0.26102244568762
25|1.56599087232127
27|0.840935167775083
30|0.390091264363512
..............
I realized that the values are listed proceeding from the upper right corner of the map from right to left and from up to down.
Thanks again.

AFAIK, the values are printed in the order they are read from the map, so all depends on the order in which the features were put on the map.
